External system to SRM

Hi SRM specialist
<u>Scenario:External system --> SRM</u>
Now we are examining how to do the Interface.
Firstly PO data is created in External system and this data will be needed to transfer to SRM.
<u>Question</u>
What can we do when we will do the Interface from External system to SRM?
(IDOC? XML? FTP?)
Please tell me about it.

Hi,
As far as I know if ur talking with SAP with SAP system than connection would be RFC and the communication in the ALE IDOC right.
But if ur talking with SAP with NON SAP system than the connection would be through some middleware like XI.
Note:- But in some case u can pass your SAP IDOC into XML format to the other NON SAP System provided that the system should be in programmed in such a formate that it can understand and mapped the details as per the business requirement.
See IDOC can be send in different format right like.
1) Files Formate,
2) TRFC Formate,
3) XML File,
4) XML Http,
5) CPI-C,
6) ABAP-PI
Is this is the ans ur looking for please revert.
BR,
Vijay Mittal
If it helps u in understanding and solving reward the points.

  • Calling a web service in external system from SRM

    Hi folks,
    A web service is created in the external system and I need to access this web service from a BADI. Can you tell me how can I call this web service (the external system is giving me a URL) and how I'll get a return. Please let me know in detail.
    Thanks,
    Prem

    Prem,
    Hi. You can call the service via HTTP protocol. Pass them values (SET_DATA), and receive a response (GET_DATA), via xml/html.
    In your code you would need to create the xml data to pass them, and evaluate the returned xml.
    Process...
    Data setup
    1) Create the XML to send them
    Working with the external service
    2) Open the HTTP connection
    2a) cl_http_client=>create_by_url (IF_HTTP_CLIENT)
    2b) lr_client->authenticate
    3) Call the to send them the XML
    3a) lr_client->request->set_data
    3b) lr_client->send
    4) Call the lr_client->receive to return the response
    5) Close the connection lr_client->close
    Data evaluate
    6) Evaluation the returned XML and process.
    Hope this helps

  • Updating purchasing contracts in SRM from external system ( XI )

    Hello friends,
    We have a requirement to update / create purchasing contracts in SRM from external system ie e-sorcing . We are getting the structure of contract from
    xi proxy.
    We are using function modules
    BBP_PD_CTR_CREATE
    BBP_PD_CTR_UPDATE
    to create / update contracts.
    The issue is , how we will come to know an existing contract is got updated in
    the external system and , is there any function module/ bapi available to get those
    updated contract records or is there any way to do this.
    It would be great if anybody can provide some helpful information.
    Thanks..

  • Creating shopping cart in SRM through an interface from an external system

    Hello,
    i am currenlty working on a SRM implementation at a client and we are looking into
    building an interface for purchase requisitions from an external system to SAP.
    To be able to get these requisitions as a package approved I would want them to go though the
    approval process in SRM. Does anybody know if it is possible to create a shopping cart in SRM through an interface from another system?
    thanks,
    Geert

    SRM has a standard business scenario of PDP PM
    here the external requirements are transferred to SRM for sourcing
    in normal business scenario ECC PR is transferred to SRM which creates a dummy SC or say sourcing SC in SRM which appears in Purchaser's worklist after correct settings
    SRM can work with NON SAP system also
    so logically yr requirement should be possible
    but in ECC PR transfer case the SC created in SRM is already apparoved.

  • BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE - Bid Invitation Create - External System

    There appears to be a SRM function and BAPI that can be used to create Bid invitation programmatically.  They are:  BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE. 
    Questions :
    1.  Is the BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE used if creating Bid Invitations from an external systems (i.e. ECC 5.0)?     
    2.  If BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is not for this purpose, is BBP_PD_BID_CREATE the correct one to use?
    3.  For both BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE and BBP_PD_BID_CREATE when creating a Bid Invitation (the GUIDs are not yet created) the Item Long Text structure does not have item number included.  It has the Item GUID but during a create you donu2019t know what it is.    Is the following the correct process for using this BAPI/function and if not, please correct?
    Create the Bid Invitation:
         1.  Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE   (do not provide the item long text or delivery schedule information)
         2.  Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT
    Call the BAPI again with the GUIs returned in the E_ structures to update item long text and delivery schedules:
         3.   Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE    with known GUIs for the items or is there a different function to call for the change to add additional long texts to each item
         4.  Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT

    Requirement has probably long gone and potentially you've resolved the problem but for the benefit of others;
    In order to differentiate between Header and Item data within structure I_BID_TEXT you need to use field PARENT_GUID. The value here is not necessarily the parent of the BID Invitation but the parent of the text i.e. header or item.
    for example;
    I_BID_HEADER_CUST
    PARENT_GUID
    DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C
    I_BID_ITEMS
    ITEM_GUID.............................................PARENT_GUID......................................ITEM_NUMBER
    DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C 0000000001
    I_BID_TEXT
    PARENT_GUID......................................TEXT..TEXT_LINE
    DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   HTXT   testing bidder text      -> Header Bidder Text
    DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   testing internal note   -> Header Internal Note
    DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   Testing internal note  -> Item Internal Note

  • Modify PO from external system

    Hi all,
    We are implementing SRM 5.0 with extended classi scenario.
    Until now we have a R3 system where we create PO, but we also have got a functionality for modifing particular information of PO in a lagacy system, that comunicate with R3 between idoc.
    Now we migrate the lifecycle of PO in SRM, but the legacy system remains.
    Wich is the best way for modify a PO from a legacy system in SRM?
    thanks
    enzo

    Hi,
    You can try multiple methods ( mostly non-standard), one is use the SRM function modules to update PO, when you send the data from external system, other method is PO response( send the changes from external system as PO response in SRM).
    Hope above methods will resolve your issue.
    Thank you

  • Scenario: Idoc - XI - external system (Idoc)

    Hello,
    I am trying to send an idoc from an sap 4.6c system to an external system. The external system is supporting idcos with trfc. This scenario is currently working with ALE. Now i have to set XI between these two systems.
    My problem is to set up the communication channel in the integration builder (configuration) for the external system. The idoc is waitung in XI to transport. So the step XI-> external system causing problems.
    My settings are:
    adapter type: idoc
    transport protocol: idoc
    message protocol: idoc
    adapter engine: integration engine
    rfc destination: xyz (is working fine)
    interface version: sap release 4.0 or higher
    port: ??
    sap release 46c
    My problem is the port. should i set up a port in idx1? But the external system is not an sap system and so i dont have a client.
    In XI i have defined a port in transaction we21 (transactional rfc) for the external system with rfc destination xyz. But if i enter that port in communication channel i got error messages.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi christian,
    i'm also working in IDOC scenario between ECC to XI to MDM, if u have any document or snapshot then pls fwd it to me.

  • HUGE amount of data in flat file every day to external system

    Hello,
    i have to develop several programs to export all tables data in a flat file for external system ( EG. WEB).
    I have some worries like if is possible by SAP export all KNA1 data that contains a lot of data in a flat file using the extraction:
    SELECT * FROM KNA1 ITO TABLE TB_KNA1.
    I need some advices about these kind of huge extractions.
    I also have to extract from some tables, only the data changes, new record, and deleted records; to do this I thought of developing a program that every day extract all data from MARA and save the extraction in a custom table like MARA; the next day when the programs runs compare all data of the new extraction with the old extraction in the ZMARA table to understand the datachanges, new records or deleted record.. It's a righ approach? Can have problems with performance? Do you now other methods?
    Thanks a lot!
    Bye

    you should not have a problem with this simple approach, transferring each row to the output file rather than reading all data into an internal table first:
    open dataset <file> ...
    select * from kna1 into wa_kna1
      transfer wa_kna1 to <file>
    endselect
    close dataset <file>

  • Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

    Hi,
    as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
    However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

    Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

  • Integration of Financials with external systems

    Hi,
    I am strugling with an implementation where the client is not sure if Oracle Financials suits his business processes
    Overview of situation on Hand:
    We do not have the product installed as yet at the client site
    Products of Oracle Financials to be used :General Ledger, Account Receivable, Account Payable, Fixed Assets,India Localization Patch
    Products of Oracle Applications NOT available for use :
    Purchasing, Inventory, Order Management
    (All these areas are being covered by developing a customized Bespoke system)
    1.     Is it possible to use Oracle India Localizations (with regards to the excise functionality, for e.g. claiming of ModVat, the various excise registers that are to be maintained for e.g. RG23 A, RG23C,etc ) in the above situation (without implementing Purchasing, Inventory, and Order Management?).
    2.     Further, while passing the Vendor’s Bills (in Oracle Payables), one of the criteria for PO Matching is to check if the ModVat has been claimed. Is this functionality available in Payables with the India localization patch?
    3.     Does Oracle India localization cater for VAT requirements?
    4.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Purchase Order data from external systems to Oracle Purchasing tables (which are shared by Oracle Payables the names being PO_HEADERS, PO_LINES, PO_LINES_LOCATIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V (VIEW OF PO_DISTRIBUTIONS), PO_RELEASES (Blanket Purchase Orders), PO_LOOKUP_CODES) at transactional frequency? However, if the oracle purchasing module is not being used, can the interface tables of Purchasing be used?
    5.     An open interface (Payables Open Interface) is available in Oracle Payables to import the Invoices from external systems. While importing these invoices, does the system expect to have the Purchase Order data in the PO tables mentioned in the point above?
    6.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Quantity Received/Accepted data from external systems to PO_line_locations table to enable carrying out of 2/3/4 way matching of Purchase orders with invoices? Can the 4 way mathcing be carried out in AP by just importing Purchase Order data??
    7.     Can the Credit Card Transaction Interface be used for uploading employee expenses / advances settlement (not carried out via credit card) directly from feeder system?
    8.     Is it possible to use Open Item interface (including import concurrent program) even though Inventory module is not being installed ? If yes, then we would like to use this interface for updating Item master from bespoke system..
    9.     Can Auto Invoice API be used to import invoices from feeder system / legacy system (via RA interface Tables) into the Oracle receivable invoice tables? Is order number as column a prerequisite for successful completion of Auto Invoice API?
    10. Where should the Masters be kept....OF of Bespoke
    eg. Employee master, Inventory Item Master etc.
    11. What is the best strategy for keeping the data in Bepoke and OF related to Masters in sync?
    I have got various answers to these questions .....but some seem to contradict each other.

    Portal or run sp_set_firewall_rule on the master database to create a firewall rule for this IP address or address range. It may take up to five minutes for this change to take effect. Login failed for user '*REMOVED*'. This session has been assigned a tracing

    Hi,
    It depends, if it's a static IP address for your machine, it should be OK for this one IP address; if it is a dynamic IP address in a range, you can input the IP address range which contains this mentioned IP address
    157.55.225.241, or update the changed address to date.

  • Cannot "Complete" Service Desk Messages in External System

    Hello Solution Manager Experts!
    I have an issue where we had two Solution Manager Service Desks and needed to consolidate into one.  As part of that exercise, we set up an external service desk relationship between the old service desk (call it SID OLD) and the new service desk (call it SID NEW).  When sending the service desk messages from OLD to NEW via the action (Send to External Service Desk) we can only set the status to "Accepted", and the status "Completed" is grayed out for the service desk message that resides in the NEW system.  In the NEW system, under the Transaction Details-->Transaction Analysis there an error indicating that the message can only be closed by the external system (OLD).  However, in the OLD system, the original message is already set to "Complete", and I am no longer able to do anything with the original service desk message.  Even if I make another copy of the message in the OLD system and resend the copy to the NEW system (as status "new"), I still cannot mark the service desk message "Complete".  In the OLD system, even of this copy of the service desk message is something other then Complete, I cannot mark it complete and synchronize with the new system.  I get an error in the old system that says that "The problem message is locked in external system SM_NEWCLNT030_SERVDESK", which is obviously a reference to the RFC destination for the new external service desk.
    How can I go back into the NEW system and change the message to "Complete"?  Additionally, even if I could close the message in OLD and synchronize with NEW, I am curious how I would get around this issue if the OLD Solution Manager service desk needed to be decommissioned, and was no longer available, this would still be an issue of closing out service desk messages to a status of "Complete".  Is there some kind of program I can run agains certain service desk message numbers which will "break" that relationship with the OLD service desk so I can set those messages that originated in OLD to be "Complete" in NEW?
    Any service desk messages that are created directly in NEW can be closed out to "Completed".  This is an issue that is only a problem with  messages that originated in OLD.  I hope this makes sense. 
    Your input is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I found a workaround by going into the status profile in the NEW system, double clicking on the CONF status, changed "To be distributed"  to "allowed" and "set".  Then I backed up one screen so I could see all my status's; and then in the last column of the CONF status in the column labled "Trans.", I set it to RELE instead of FINI.
    This enables me to set the "completed" messages from my legacy (OLD) system to "completed" in my (NEW) system.  Once I have all the status's set, I'll set the status profile entry for CONF back to the way it was.

  • Create Support Message from external system

    HI experts,
    I would like to change the Create Support Message screen(Menu->Help->Create Support Message) and add three fields namely: Category, Subject and Solution Number because currently these fields are not populated in the Service desk if I create message in this way unlike in using NOTIF_CREATE tcode where there are selection fields for these.
    Also, I'm creating the support message from an external SAP system and the messsage is sent to the Solution Manager system. The NOTIF_CREATE tcode does not exist in the external system as well as the whole package DSWP.
    Please let me know you rthoughts on this.
    Thanks

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for your answers... But is it possible to call transaction NOTIF_CREATE from an external system?
    I have done something already so that those 3 fields will be automatically populated for a message sent from an external system.
    I changed the screen and called FM BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE(a remote enabled FM which is the one being used by transaction NOTIF_CREATE to create a message) inside FM BCOS_SEND_MSG.
    I populated the category, subject and solution in the FM export parameters as well as the solution number in the sap data table. I put a destination also..
    This FM calls another FM DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION which is the one being used from the external system but do not cater the functionality to send the 3 fields that we need.
    As you will notice, there are lots of standard objects that I've changed. =)
    My problem now is that the system data sent is the same with the system data if you create the message using NOTIF_CREATE. Some system that were sent when a message is sent from an external system is missing but at least the sap system and client ID is sent. There is no external reference number also. But hopefullly, the users will accept it. Can't find any other solution to this.
    Thanks,
    Eric
